My dog has been coughing and now has red mucus. Should I be worried?

Question

My dog has cough since a week and I just notice some red in his mucus. Should I be worried?

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

Yes, I would be concerned that this red in his mucus is blood. Severe respiratory infections can cause blood in the mucus, and he should be examined by a vet for this. He may need medication to treat the infection, and the vet can prescribe it for him. Please take him into the vet today.
